Someone told me that my ongoing work on the book is being discussed here. Unfortunately, all I can read is stupidity and ignorance.

Honestly, what did you expect with such an utter crap website. And for the ignorance part, there's no info at all there, so again, not really a surprise...

Now there's something that gets my interest, that's really all I needed to know. My advice: just ditch that awful site and put that instead.

First: the book is neither official or unnofficial. We are working on that and we will have to wait until it gets finished.
Second: Its amazing how you judge something you dont know yet, and how there is a lot of jealous wannabes that cant even put two words together. ANY person (preferrably a qualified writer) has the right to write a biography book about any public figure.

Third: If the world needs this? What kind of question is that? Some people will like to read about Jon's life and death on this plane, some people won't. So get the book, or don't. Or write your own book if you want.

This work is to honour a person who I think was 100% authentic in his beliefs, and a very talented musician.

About who knew Jon better and who deserves to write a book about him or not, well... keep discussing about it meanwhile someone is ACTUALLY DOING IT.

Posts like "suicide is a magical fail" or "this guy doesnt even understand what Jon was about" just makes me laugh. You just don't have a clue.

For those who support the project, thanks. You won't be dissapointed.

If you have actually interviewed Emil, Set, Erik, and Andreas B. I will buy the book. I doubt you have though.

There's lots of old guys from the scene in GBG and Strömstad he could have interviewed, even the old Mayhem guys who knew Jon back when he was a kid, but without his brother (or his parents or sisters input) and the people you mentioned, who were around Jon the last years of his life, there'll be some pretty big holes in the story. I wonder if IT was interviewed? Him and Jon seem to have been close for a lot of years, would be interesting to see if he took part in this
